Claude Code logs updated with new fields, breaking existing parsers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Claude Code, a tool for interacting with Claude models, has recently undergone significant updates, adding 33 new fields and 4 line types to its local logging system over an eight-day period. Notable additions include 'cost-state' for tracking session expenses and 'output_tokens_details.thinking_tokens' to differentiate between reasoning and answer tokens. However, these updates have also introduced breaking changes for users relying on specific log markers, such as the removal of 'stop_reason: "end_turn"' for subagent transcripts, which has impacted parsing capabilities for some users.
